GARDEN MARYGOLD. Calendula qfficinalis. 



" The marygold, that goes to bed with the sun, 

 And with him rises weeping."

That wered of yeleve goldes a gerlond, 

 And had a cuckowe sitting in her hand." 



Chaucer. 



This flower, which closes its petals with the 

 last smile of the sun, is given as a represent- 

 ative of jealousy on account of its yellow

" Small jealousies, 'tis true, inflame desire; 

 Too great, not fan, but quite blow out the fire."
